"A Song and a Story," for aramel_calawen

[dawn_felagund]

Aramel requested a story about Elrond and Elros, during their life with the Fëanorians, when they learn in one way or another about the fate of Eluréd and Elurín. And so, for you, Aramel, are two hott Fëanorians, two angsty little Elflings...and a partridge in a pear tree. ;^)

Story recs: let's see, as far as happier stories go, I'd say first and foremost When the Stars Smile, which is a romantic comedy with a definite happy ending. Paper is one of my personal favorites, was honored with a MEFA in '06, and is also a bit lighter than some of my other stuff. (And was also my first stab at creating a viable character for Curufin!) Salt is darker but is, again, a favorite of mine and took 2nd place in First Age stories at the MEFAs this year, so I recommend that one. (It is part of the same series as "Paper," incidentally.) Return to Me ... along the lines of "The Tapestries," which I know you liked, dealing with Mandos and afterlife; a bit controversial (and weird!)

I haven't gotten around to putting these on LJ yet:

An Ordinary Woman, a realistic take on the story of Beren and Luthien, is getting a lot of positive attention on SWG right now. (Surprisingly, since I'm only about 50% happy with it myself!)

Rekindling: this one is set after "Tapestries," even, and I am fairly pleased with it.

Stars of the Lesser: probably my favorite from this year's holiday stories, so far anyway. Also has some philosophical ideas that I'd be interested to hear your take on.

And that's that for now. I have probably about 50 Silmfic stories right now, but those are the ones that I'm most proud of, for the moment anyway. :)

Thanks for the comments, and I can agree to disagree :), I do happen to agree very much with your comments about the changability of science, but irrespective of science I would still be an absolutionist, its simply a matter of faith, I only use the physical and as a evidencary argument. Thanks for the advice about what to read, I was not implying that I did not like the bittersweet, life tends to be that way, I compare you favorably with McMurtry who is one of my favorite authors. Your writing recognizes both that and the fact that despite absolutes we tend to live in the gray. Whereas only the divine can live in the absolute, as Melkor I think does, or eventually becomes, evil can be logical in its on way. Just look at the Nazi's and the Communist, they had very logical basises for their postions, just look at the people they took in. Do you think I would like the Fiwe story you reference?
